What is it? ----------------------------------- Cervantes Sun Oct 30, 2005 4:16 pm ----------------------------------- It is [url=http://www.compsci.ca/v2/viewtopic.php?t=399]this. I never did play this game. Though I did play [url=http://ambar.darklights.com/index.php]Ambar / Darklights long when the world was still green. ----------------------------------- Martin Sun Oct 30, 2005 7:30 pm ----------------------------------- I read the book by Thomas More... ----------------------------------- goomba Sun Oct 30, 2005 8:41 pm ----------------------------------- I played it for a couple ages about a year and a half ago. It's very time consuming since you can't afford to miss a day when the ages are only a couple months long. ----------------------------------- Tony Sun Oct 30, 2005 9:41 pm ----------------------------------- As the link above states, I used to play it. Quite fun. Any major changes since 2003? What is it? It's a web, text based, math game. Used to be pretty fun. Erny plays it :wink: ----------------------------------- Boo-chan Sun Oct 30, 2005 9:55 pm ----------------------------------- I read the book by Thomas More... Was it any good? I've heard a lot about it but never got around to reading it. ----------------------------------- Martin Sun Oct 30, 2005 11:01 pm ----------------------------------- You should read it. It's good, but it falls apart in some ways. One of the greatest things about it is his discussion of religion (Thomas More was a Catholic martyr). The entire book is about this island called Utopia (literally translated to No Place - this book is the origin of the word Utopia) and he describes the systems in place on the island. It is heavily influenced by Plato's The Republic. Anyway, concerning the religion, he allows for freedom of religion, but preaching is outlawed. The citizens are, however, allowed to practice any religion they wish, so long as it doesn't infringe or impose itself upon other people's beliefs. ----------------------------------- MyPistolsIn3D Mon Oct 31, 2005 12:23 am ----------------------------------- Ive played it quite a bit. ----------------------------------- codemage Mon Oct 31, 2005 10:20 am ----------------------------------- The book is really good, & it's not that long. A lot of good ideas if you're into politics or history or anthro or social studies, etc. The critical angle is that he presents a perfect world (utopian society) without giving any hints about how to get from here to there. :cry: Haven't played the game though. ----------------------------------- Aoi Thu Nov 10, 2005 12:51 am ----------------------------------- I used to play a lot... well more like addicted to it at one point... ya I know that's just sad ----------------------------------- do_pete Thu Nov 10, 2005 2:49 pm ----------------------------------- utopia kicks ass ----------------------------------- Aoi Sun Nov 13, 2005 2:12 am ----------------------------------- I started a new account and I blame this topic >.< ----------------------------------- 1of42 Mon Nov 14, 2005 10:44 pm Re: Utopia ----------------------------------- Just wondering if anyone here has ever played Swirve.com's Utopia. I played for a while, finally quit after playing in a very good honor kingdom that made top 3 in Battlefields. That was a LOOOONG time ago tho...
